Well they are in, but the seats themselves need adjusting because they both are not set the exact same, so they look to be off a little.

First I had to use the spacers to make the seats even like in the other. Again I just used wood blocks....1X4's I believe, I'm not sure, they were free from home depot.


DAMMIT....sorry guys, but apparently I just blocked myself from seeing photos on my computer...Don't know how this happened, but I'll see if I can figure it out and get back to you guys.

Ok, back to the update.....

Here's another picture of the 1X4 blocks we used.


So the front two feet bolts were done....and we needed to figure out how to mount the back bolts, we were only able to bolt one side down, just like the last seat. We made a different bracket than the other seat, and I have pictures of it, but I'm not able to get them off my camera. I'm not sure what is going on, but here are a couple pictures of the seats mounted in place.



I am very happy with the final product, and I'll try to get some more pics up here and explain what they go to. But if anyone has any questions, I'll be happy to ask. This is literally a weekend project that anyone can do. And it's well worth it if you want bucket seats.

You do lose a leg room, but it's really not that bad. I'll get some pictures with people in there and see what you think.

Don't hate...appreciate.

You're absolutely correct. The 04-08 have basically NO room back there compared to the 09-10s. I tested getting in and out multiple times. It was a little uncomfortable at first, but if you know its coming, it's fine. Getting in isn't a problem at all, because you know its coming.

But I can see an individual that has had a couple cold ones try to get out in a hurry and fall on his/her face.....can't wait to see that.
